The G7 — Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — have also agreed to support a medium-term reforestation plan which will be unveiled at the UN in September. Macron declared the situation in the Amazon region an “international crisis” and made it one of the G7 summit’s priorities. He has threatened to block a huge new trade deal between the EU and Latin America unless Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a climate change sceptic, takes serious steps to protect the forest from logging and mining.
